Suresh Raina's exploits in the middle-order for the Indian cricket team and Chennai Super Kings made him one of the star batters in the sport. In 205 IPL matches, Raina scored 5528 runs at an average of 32.52. He was also part of the Indian teams which won the 2011 ODI World Cup and the 2013 Champions Trophy. Raina is the first Indian to score a century in the Men's T20 World Cup, which he did when he hit 101 against South Africa in the 2010 edition. Raina has now retired from competitive cricket.
